In our snippet, the author talks about the "500 hours of gameplay" Bethesda Softworks is claiming for the game: The developers claim Morrowind could possibly feature around 500 hours of gameplay when all the multitudes of side quests are factored in. Initially, I found that number impossible to believe, but after playing for a number of hours, I'm a believer. The island of Vvarvendell is monstrous. Your first quest has you delivering a package to an attaché of the emperor in the merchant town, Balmora. You have the option of taking a silt strider, a giant flea-like bug that serves as a sort of Vvarvendell bus service, to instantly reach Balmora, but I opted to go on foot to explore more of the scenery. After following the signs along the road, doing a single quest involving finding a woman's errant lover, exploring the wilderness a bit, and simply having a blast, I arrived in Balmora a full two hours later. I checked out the in-game world map that reveals how much of the island you've seen, and gasped as I saw how little I had actually explored. Morrowind doesn't suffer from Daggerfall's random and repetitive towns, dungeons and wilderness, either. Everything in the world is hand-placed, ensuring players will see something new no matter where they choose to travel.
